What a waste of a starion.. and the kit looks like crap!

If your planning a kit car then the Fiero is the way to go.

Here are some kit cars made from the fiero shell.

F40

F355

Diablo

A feiro is a much better option to do stupid "kit conversions" not a starion..

Yes, some people take Starions and absolutely destroy the lines of it by way of plastic. :wtf:
Still, it's original, that's for sure!
I wonder what all that plastic weighs?
I also wonder what's under the bonnet?

Fieros are great cars, 2.8L V6, mid engined, but I must admit that I haven't seen any of those kits before. They look just like the real thing!
Very tasty! :drool:
Volkswagen Beetles were/are a common chassis to build kits onto. That's how stuff like the Purvis Eureka, GT40 replica and Coyote saw the light of day.

I already have the Diablo replica as my "next project" (probably 20 years from now, but shit it would be cool :))

You can even get replica engine covers and stuff so it looks exactly like the real thing.

There used to be a guy at work who had a Purvis Eureka.. was kinda cool until I found out it was built on a VW platform and could only fit a 4 cyl non-boosted engine legally.. shame really.

You obviously haven't driven one they are a complete POS. I drove one in the US in 1989, they do no handle and do not go.

As a matter of fact marbone I have driven a Fiero. A Fiero GT actually, but I'm not convinced it was stock. It went very hard, and handled nicely.
If they don't do this stock, then it had been breathed on a bit then...
Anyhoo, it was great... :P

a dealer once tried to sell me a fiero, offered me $3000 above the market value for my car only wanted $1000 change over. This made me very interested ------ and then I drove it, bigest pos ever, spedo didnt work, they had upped the idle to cover a miss, on top of that it went like shit, looked like shit and handeled like shit.
